Cappadocia

Ark Records, Inc.

$14.99 CD / $7.92 MP3 amazon.com
Cappadocia is an instrumental music CD, inspired by an area in
central Turkey where colorful soil has eroded into graceful, steep
cliffs and rock spires known as "fairy chimneys". This land
was once a refuge for Christians seeking to practice their faith in
peace, especially during the first few centuries after their religion
came into being. The album Cappadocia seeks to capture its namesake's
timeless beauty and spirituality, combining new age music with
inflections from world music. Acoustic and electric guitar master Phil
Keaggy and keyboardist Jeff Johnson have woven a soundscape enriched
with contributions from a vast medley of additional influences, from
flute to Spanish-style acoustics, a Turkish chumbus, fretless bass,
ukulele and much more. Cappadocia is a unique, reflective treasure,
highly recommended to connoisseurs of visionary soundscapes. The
tracks are "Cappadocia", "Quo Vadis (Where Are You
Going)?", "Valley of Swords and Roses", "Parousia
(A Presence)", "That Which Is Hidden", "Chapel of
Stone", "Dove Visions", and "Trinity". 52
min., 21 sec.
